Encounter Revival





Well 2010 is off to a great start for us.. It is exciting to see the response of people over the holiday season to God. I can well remember the days when Christians took their faith of holiday as well as themselves and then took another 6 months to get "back on track".

Dayle and I love the presence of the Holy Spirit, and He has been evident in the meetings we have been in over Christmas and New year, and talking with people who are hungry for revival.
We're excited to welcome back to the Invercargill Christian Centre in February, Pastor Clark & Anne Taylor from Brisbane, Australia. Clark is the senior pastor of Worship Centre Brisbane, and a man who loves seeing people and situations turned around by the presence and power of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Clark is an outstanding communicator and ministers in the gifts of the Holy Spirit to see the word of God confirmed in peoples lives, many can testify of life changing events, including physical healing, during these meetings.
Clark has personally been a great mentor to me over the past few years in understanding the ways of the Holy Spirit.. Something that has been "stepped around" in training church leaders for some time.. even in pentecostal and charismatic circles.
We look forward to the weekend of 19-21 February 2010

Over the past few days I have been teaching at the block course for Acts Churches NZ Vision College at beautiful Mission Bay on the shore of Lake Taupo in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand.

Thirty three students meet over 4 days to emerse themselves in "Preaching & Communicatio
n".
Outstanding lecturer Simon Moutara lead the students through this excellent course programme, and I was invited to add "colour".

I certainly enjoyed adding my "colourful two cents" worth to these outstanding and hungry students as we explored the astonishing privilege we have as Christians to trumpet the good news of Jesus Christ. To not be ashamed of the gospel., but to see its' power released to
our world.

I applaud all that Vision College and its' outstanding staff are doing, and pray that they will continue to know the power and presence of the Holy Spirit on all that they do.

Another Generation


On Monday morning at 7.00am William John Douglas Wright entered the world. Our first grandchild.. as this little boy, born to our "little" boy, who has grown into an amazing young man.
Jonathan and Alice live in Wellington, and as a wonderful son and daughter-in-law they continue to enrich our lives and bless us so much.. we are so proud of them.
To see your son with his own son is such a wonderful experience.. and as Dayle and I held this wee guy and prayed the presence of the kingdom to come powerfully on, and in his life, we were awed to see little "Billy" clasp his hands in a prayerful response.. call it a coincidence.. call it what you want.. we saw it as a first response to his creator.

One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. Psalm 145:4
